What a infrared sauna studio is
An infrared sauna studio rents private or semi-private cabins with infrared panels that warm you more than the air around you, so the room runs cooler than a Finnish sauna. Most studios sell timed sessions by booking, and many add red-light panels, a cold plunge or a shower in each suite.

Where this comes from
Source: the venue's Google Maps listing (category "Sauna"), checked November 2, 2026, and the venue's own website. We list it as a infrared sauna studio because of its own website is about booking infrared sauna sessions. Ratings are Google's, shown as a count only; we do not copy reviews. Prices are not shown because they change; see the venue's site. Is something wrong, or has it closed? Email contact@saunasnear.com and we will fix it.
